Incredible as always the great Mark Lavon Helm
Sock Cymbal! Love it.
Are you kidding me? So much to learn from this gentleman.
An amazing, one of a kind drummer/singer. I’ve never seen anyone play like Levon. RIP.
Levon was Awsome,he had what appears to be a simple feel,but to replicate what he did you just cant do,the guy was incredibly talented,he is greatly missed.
Love you Levon. One of the coolest musicians to ever do it!
One of a kind. Feel for days, voice for the ages.....
Cool!!!😁👍
As Robbie Robertson said about his big brother Levon Helm ... 'amongst all drummers , they all had this tremendous respect for Levon's drumming .' They all thought ...'this guy is the real item .'
RIP Levon Helm. Thanks for uploading this great video. I had to look up sock cymbal. It's also known more commonly as a "Hi Hat"
That’s one of the nicest sounding snares I’ve ever heard!

Piccolo.. In case you didn't know 😎
Boy I would of loved another album with Robertson and Dan Lanois producing the Band. Levon is not a fussy drummer yet changed rock with his weepy toms.

No…Ringo was before him on “Day in the Life.”
Love this man.
“Levon likes his money” , and great grooves!
I bought my copy and it gets a lot of play I can tell you that.
This video demonstrates shuffle grooves but ends with a Rock & Roll song nicely played with a more elusive funky, soul, groove that does not have shuffle or swing.
Great stuff
Levon was a great drummer, very unique, very primitive, earthy, he sounds like the civil war to me.

God Damn I miss this man...
Great video! Anyone know what snare drum he's playing?
Does anyone know what kit Levon used at The Last Waltz?

Unreal
Song at the end?
Anyone know the details and specs of that Yamaha piccolo snare ? Other than my older Yamaha below I could not tame a few others I’ve owed Had a Yamaha piccolo 15 years ago that was a second snare with a Ludwig kit it was a deep cobalt blue Regret letting it go when I sold the set and never did determine it’s true details
Wow this is how I play, Ive alway's thought I wasn't a particularly good drummer [Lacked finness ] Maybe I'm ok then. I wish this was longer, There is lots to learn.

This is from an instructional video that Levon put out, you may be able to find it somewhere. My dad had this on VHS and if I'm not mistaken it was 30-45 mins long.

Short Fat Fannie, a takeoff on Long Tall Sally.
Sock cymbal
And your what cymbal?
Not enough here.
Why is it that when musicians achieve fame, they all of a sudden think they're teachers? Levon doesn't use any of the common language of rhythm here. Simple terms that all of us drummers understand.
